I have been useing mason jars to store my tin tobacco after opening them. Ijust bought a 16 oz bag of tobacco in bulk . Should i put it in a mason jar or wait till I open the bag. I'm waiting to use up my tin of Barbados Plantation before I open the bag of Queen ann's revenge. Should I mason jar it now or wait? Thank you.

jar it now in smaller jars.
You have zero to lose jarring tobacco.

Almost certainly, jar it now, unless it's a mylar bag.

Some of the non-Mylar I’ll leave in the bag if it’s a small amount. Depending on the source, it just gets a little drier as time goes by as I’ve discovered by being lazy and not jarring it. Just a matter of paying attention. Not recommended, but some 2 oz. samples it’s just as easy to leave them in it and the bags fit nicely in a pipe roll to have handy in the Jeep.
I jar all of the bagged stuff right away. I'm sure it will keep a while unopened, but there's really no point in delaying getting it in jars.
Thanks all, I'll jar it right now. It came in a mylar bag, but I'll jar it. Tobacco smells so good.
Another vote here for jar it now. I fit 16oz of tobacco in 8 half pint mason jars.
Where did you find Sutliff bulk in a mylar bag? I've only ever gotten it in plastic.
The important thing is that it is jarred, so yes, that will be fine.
A pound is just like a month's worth, unless you dilly dally around. I don't always jar up a pound... unless I am just setting it back to age. Otherwise, you want it to dry out anyways, and if you are going to burn through it in a month... just smoke it. Unless you are one of those once every now and then smokers.
It will become my daily smoker. But I'll also smoke my English blends.
If in doubt, jar it. Even if not in doubt, jar it. It's only one definite advice I agree with the rest of forum.
